Pourquoi?!

What is wrong with Halloween-ers (or more correctly, halloweenies) this year?!

Let me explain.

I am getting a little too old to be trick or treating, so I usually mooch off my siblings and take their Jawbreakers, my one weakness (wink), because they hate them and I love them.

But this year they are nowhere to be seen. They didn't have a single one in their buckets. Not one!

What's going down is people would probably sue them for giving out jawbreaks 'cause little Johnny would actually try to bite the candy and break his jaw in the process. As if the name is warning enough. :)

I am so disappointed in our society.

Adieu, Delicious Jawbreakers.

The Law of Guessing

So, my parents need to learn the law of guessing.

When a child comes up to you and asks you to guess, say, what they got on a test in school that day. Always guess low. If you guess high, and they really got lower than that, then the surprise is ruined because nothing can match up to that! Plus, the child than feels bad because they can't meet their parents' obviously too high expectations. ;)

For example:

Me: Dad! Guess how many people came to the festival at my work?!

Dad: 1000?

Me: ...It was only 600. :(

Don't you see how tragic that is?!

P.S. I still love you mom and dad, despite your flawed guessing skills. ^_^

On the Issue of a Recent Post

So, I dearly hope that I haven't given the wrong impression of me.

In one of my earlier posts, "One of those days", I didn't want it to come off as a "Woe is me" post where I was having a self-pity fest. ^_^

I probably should have used a better quote. Like "Nobody wants you to be miserable, so you might as well be happy", or something like that.

I really don't go fishing for pity, I promise!

I love you all, and I love life very much. :)

Firsts

Let me give you a list of firsts that have happened to me today.

1) I played frisketball with a return missionary (And it somehow turned into rugby!)
1) I spent a sonic gift card
1) I bought some pansies

Oh yeah...I almost forgot...I may have, accidentally, got in my first car wreck today.

Fortunately, it was a small accident (I hit some one's mailbox) and nobody was hurt. Still, it was fairly traumatizing. My heart goes out to all those other mailbox haters out there. It's a terrible thing to feel.

Now you may ask, is there anything either party could have done to prevent this? And to this I say yes, yes there is. I am just going to travel by bus from now on.

Wish me luck. ;)

One of those Days

Today was one of those days. 'nuff said.

Therefore, I am cheering myself up by looking at beautiful things. This picture caught my eye. :)

"Nobody really cares if you are miserable, so you might as well be happy."

Story of my life. ^_^
